No Words of Comfort

What can I do to assuage your grief 

How fruitless my words must seem to be 

But still I pray you find some relief 

From the shadow only you can see

A tragedy like this is a sin

It's impossible to understand 

Some day I know you'll meet them again 

But for now I just offer my hand
